Clinical Sleep Health

Certificate, Associate of Applied Science

There is growing need for expertise in the areas of sleep health education and long-term patient care. Oregon Tech is an academic leader in the field of sleep health.

A new health credential– the Certification in Clinical Sleep Health (CCSH) - has been developed by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT). Oregon Tech’s Clinical Sleep Health (CSH) program is designed for health professionals preparing to sit for CCSH examination and opens a broad arena of career options for those working with sleep patients.

Certificate

Non-physician health care providers play an important role in successful disease management, community support, and the standard of care and education provided to sleep patients and their families. This program provides training and education to aid in the care and management of patients with sleep disorders, primarily sleep apnea.

Students gain knowledge of sleep abnormalities and learn to evaluate treatment plans to provide quality long-term patient care for adult, geriatric, pediatric, and infant populations. Graduates may use the certificate to meet requirements for job competencies, promotions, salary increases, or other considerations. Graduates are prepared to develop and implement education programs for patients and families, as well as outreach programs for the larger community.

Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the new CCSH examination, available through the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) provided all requirements are met.

For applicants who do not have a degree, we offer an associate of applied science (AAS) program. You should enroll in the AAS program if you don’t already hold a degree.

For applicants who already have a degree, we offer a certificate program. However, you may enroll in the associate degree program even if you already hold a degree.
